Samsung has just confirmed that it’s dishing out blockbuster upgrades to millions of older Galaxy phones – check the full list here.
There’s good news if you haven’t switched to a new Galaxy phone in a while. Samsung has just confirmed that it’s bringing its smart Galaxy AI upgrade to millions of older devices including the hugely popular S22 range.
Once the update – called One UI 6.1 – is released next month, users will get a bunch of clever bonus features including Live Translate which offers instant translation right on the device. You can even use this function in real-time to understand what someone, who speaks a foreign language, is saying on the other end of the phone – that should help when trying to book a table on your next holiday.
“Travelling abroad no longer needs to be a daunting prospect with Interpreter converting speech into translated text on a split screen. Live Translate offers instant voice and text translations over phone calls, while Chat Assist helps users’ message in different languages and adjust message tone,” Samsung explained.
Circle to Search now arrives on more Galaxy phones which allows users to draw on an image and get instant Google results about what and where it is.
Note Assist and Transcript Assist are packed inside the update as well which make it easier to read your scribblings and make editable notes of voice recordings.
Another big bonus of One UI 6.1 is an update to the camera. Those who love snapping videos and photos on their devices will be pleased to hear that Generative Edit is now coming to more phones. This lets you easily change photos, boost the image and move things around without needing a degree in Photoshop.
If that all sounds enticing, Samsung says it will release this update next month.
Here is the full list of devices that will be compatible.
• Galaxy S22 series
• Galaxy Z Fold4
• Galaxy Z Flip4
• Galaxy Tab S8 series.
Once it’s released you’ll need to follow the steps below to install it.
Power up your Galaxy phone. Then head to Settings > Software update > Download and install. Your phone should then restart and get all of those new features mentioned above.
